Lowering the Barriers of Cloud –based Vehicular Applications using Software Defined Network

The Software-Defined Network is a growing computing and networking concept that has the potential ability to join Vehicle-to Infrastructures (V2I) and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETS). With cloud computing, cloud-based vehicular networks can support many unprecedented applications. However, deploying applications of cloud-based applications with low latency is not a trivial task. It creates a burden to the vehicular network's designers because rapid development and communication technologies, gradual changes in cloud-based vehicular networks evolve into a revolution in the process. In this paper, we try to reveal the barriers hindering the scale up of applications based cloud-vehicular networks and to offer our initial Software-Defined Cloud-Vehicular Network as a potential solution to lowering the barriers.
